Teach For America Greater Baton Rouge and Capitol Elementary recently celebrated the launch of the Teach For America Ignite Fellowship, our high-dosage tutoring program, alongside the supporters who make the program possible. Ignite in Greater Baton Rouge will recruit and train more than 210 tutors (fellows) to advance literacy proficiency in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms this school year. High-dosage tutoring is a proven strategy to advance student outcomes, increase student well-being, and build a pipeline of future educators. I was proud to co-author a recent piece with my colleague Ge'ron Tatum about the role that high-dosage tutoring can play for students in Louisiana: https://lnkd.in/gWjCMJuD

“Growing up in a low-income, immigrant-dominated school district and then moving on to a predominantly white institution opened my eyes to the disparity in the educational system and how much zip codes affect a student's education,” said Pamela Hernandez, an Ignite Fellow who is now joining the TFA corps. As an Ignite Fellow, Pamela tutored two to four students, received ongoing training and development from TFA and veteran educators, and received a stipend upon completing the fellowship. “The Ignite Fellowship offered an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact in students' lives while furthering my professional growth,” Pamela said. https://lnkd.in/eBuNvZJc

On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we celebrate the strength, creativity, and resilience of Indigenous peoples across the country, while highlighting the youth of the Oglala Lakota Nation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. Through Outlast, a project founded by LT (South Dakota '21), local students are learning to tell their stories through film and media. This film camp provides the next generation with the tools to reclaim their narratives and inspire change in their communities. At Teach For America, we stand with Indigenous peoples’ self-determination, advocating for education and student empowerment as essential pathways to a renewed community and culture. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #LakotaYouth #OutlastFilmCamp #TeachForAmerica Photo credit: Outlast Arts and Education
